List all available credential generation types with descriptions and common use cases.
AI agents call listGenerationTypes to retrieve information from My Credentials MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates metadata about available credential generation types. It performs no data modification, execution, deletion, or financial operations. While it operates within a credentials management context, the tool itself only reads and returns reference information about generation capabilities.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'listGenerationTypes' and description 'List all available credential generation types' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
